LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries known for safety, longevity, and reliability. They use iron phosphate as the cathode material, delivering stable 3.2V power with minimal self-discharge. With 3,000-5,000+ charge cycles and 95%+ efficiency, they’re widely used in solar energy storage, RVs, marine applications, and backup power systems where long lifespan and deep discharge capability matter most.
A dual-purpose truck battery serves two critical functions: delivering high cranking power to start heavy-duty diesel engines and providing continuous power for parking air conditioners during rest periods.
It can reliably start motorcycles with engines up to 1000CC, providing strong cranking power even in cold conditions.
The difference between lead-acid and LiFePO₄ batteries lies in performance and efficiency: lead-acid batteries are affordable and reliable, while LiFePO₄ batteries are lightweight, durable, and long-lasting, offering higher efficiency, deeper discharge, and thousands of stable cycles.
For small portable generators, a compact 12.8V/1Ah (12.8Wh) starting battery is sufficient. This lightweight model weighs only 0.3kg with dimensions of 32x56x92mm, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
When installing a LiFePO₄ battery, pay attention to the placement:
Keep it at least 1 meter away from the exhaust pipe or other heat sources.
If part of the battery is near a hot exhaust, install a heat shield to prevent overheating.
CARKU LiFePO₄ batteries include over-temperature protection, but prolonged exposure to high heat can still shorten battery life.
Tip: Proper installation not only ensures safety but also helps maintain the battery’s longevity.
To keep your LiFePO₄ battery in good condition:
Tip: Routine checks help prevent damage, maintain battery performance, and ensure safe operation.
To preserve your LiFePO₄ battery during non-use periods, follow these guidelines:
Tip: High temperatures during storage can accelerate aging, while very low temperatures may temporarily reduce capacity. Following these steps helps maintain battery life through the offseason.
Yes. Sodium (Na⁺) batteries provide strong cranking current, making them an excellent choice for starting gasoline or diesel vehicles.
Na⁺ starting batteries offer several key advantages:
Abundant and eco-friendly materials: Sodium-based chemistry is sustainable and reduces environmental impact.
High cranking power in extreme temperatures: They can reliably start vehicles in very hot or cold conditions.
Long cycle life: Designed for up to 3,000 charge-discharge cycles, ensuring years of dependable performance.
Tip: These features make Na⁺ batteries a reliable and long-lasting alternative to traditional lead-acid starting batteries for passenger cars.
Sodium (Na⁺) batteries are ideal for vehicle starting, even in extreme temperatures. LiFePO₄ batteries support starting and energy storage, are lightweight, long-lasting, and more cost-effective than lead-acid.
Sodium-ion batteries use abundant sodium-based materials to store energy, offering stable performance from -20°C to 60°C, excellent thermal safety, and a long cycle life. They are cost-effective alternatives to lithium-ion, ideal for stationary storage, backup power, and grid-scale applications, and can integrate with vehicle electronics, parking air conditioning, and onboard inverters to efficiently power passenger cars and commercial trucks.
Yes. A 230Ah 24V LiFePO₄ starting battery paired with a 2200W pure sine wave inverter can easily power a 75W portable refrigerator. The inverter converts the battery’s DC power into stable AC electricity, allowing your appliance to run safely and efficiently on the road or when parked.
A car inverter converts your vehicle’s DC power into standard AC electricity, allowing you to run home appliances on the road. When used with a lithium battery, the inverter can provide the battery’s stored energy to power devices such as laptops, power tools, and kitchen appliances.
A pure sine wave inverter produces a smooth, clean sine wave just like household electricity, making it safe and compatible with most appliances, including car fridges, rice cookers, fans, and sensitive electronics. In contrast, a modified sine wave inverter outputs a rough, stepped waveform that may work for simple devices like heaters or incandescent bulbs but can cause noise, unstable operation, lower efficiency, overheating, or even damage to more advanced appliances.
A power inverter is essential because it safely converts the LiFePO₄ battery’s DC power into AC electricity, allowing you to run sensitive appliances while maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring stable, reliable, and compatible power for all your devices.
Tip: Pairing a high-capacity LiFePO₄ battery with a properly rated inverter lets you efficiently power multiple devices on the road or off-grid without risking equipment damage.
DC parking air conditioning is a battery-powered cooling system that operates without running the engine, allowing drivers to stay comfortable during rest periods.
Yes, a properly sized LiFePO₄ battery (typically 200–400Ah) can efficiently power a truck’s parking air conditioner for 8–10 hours. This setup saves fuel, reduces engine wear, and provides quiet, comfortable cabin temperatures during rest periods, making it ideal for long-haul truckers who need overnight comfort without idling the engine.
Yes, using a LiFePO₄ battery to power a parking air conditioner is cost-effective and efficient. It eliminates 8–10 hours of engine idling, saving significant fuel, reduces engine wear, ensures quiet and consistent cooling, and helps comply with anti-idling regulations. For long-haul truckers, this setup improves overnight comfort while cutting operating costs and maintenance needs.
